Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space
Chapter 1282: Giving Them an Early Warning
Xinyan and He Jinxuan naturally did not miss the small gestures of the second couple.
Xinyan glanced at the watch on her wrist: "Jinxuan, it’s getting late. Distribute the things you brought back to everyone."
She had said everything she needed to say, and she needed to go to the hotel later to give Mr. Ye acupuncture. Most importantly, she didn’t want the second family to say anything awkward.
He Jinxuan stood up, pointing to those gift boxes: "These are prepared by the Ye Family. You can distribute them as you see fit."
The implication was that they didn’t need to count this house’s share.
Then he took out the ones he and Xinyan brought back one by one: "Dad, these are tea leaves and clothes Xinyan brought for you; skincare products and clothes for Mom."
Both took the clothes, seeing there were exclusive shopping bags, no need to ask, they knew the clothes were expensive.
Mother He had a smile on her face: "These look expensive. We wear anything, why waste money on this?"
Xinyan smiled and said: "I thought they’d fit you well, so I bought them."
Mr. He didn’t say anything else, looking at the clothes, then at the tea leaves, he was very happy: "These tea leaves smell nice."
Jinxuan explained promptly: "All prepared by Xinyan, those tea leaves are priceless. If she hadn’t set them aside in advance, they’d be sold out by now.
At this point, the second daughter-in-law, Gao Yumei, couldn’t hold back: "Third Brother, have you opened a store too?"
Jinxuan turned to Gao Yumei when he heard the question: "Xinyan opened the store herself before our marriage, it’s not mine."
Gao Yumei was a bit excited: "You’re married, why bother distinguishing between yours and mine? Aren’t they all yours?"
Jinxuan looked at Xinyan: "Our family’s rule is, what’s mine is hers, what’s hers is still hers, so everything from our family is Xinyan’s."
Upon hearing this, the smiles on Mother He’s and Mr. He’s faces instantly disappeared.
But He Jinxuan said so deliberately. His wife had such an array of assets, and now he had ventured into the business himself. If he managed to gain success, he didn’t want his brothers to have inappropriate thoughts. Therefore, it’s better to lay things out clearly.
Mother He just wanted to say something, but Jinxuan interrupted directly: "You also know I’ve left my unit to go solo, and those funds for the business were provided by Xinyan.
After all, her parents and grandparents love her, compensating her with quite a bit of assets."
The He family naturally found it hard to believe all the funding came from Xinyan, but since He Jinxuan said so, what else could they say?
After saying this, He Jinxuan continued to take out things, and Xinyan was generous, bringing gifts for all the family, including the second couple whom she didn’t like, after all, it’s only once a year she comes back.
Most of these gifts came from her own factories and stores, so they didn’t trouble her much.
Receiving the gifts, everyone was naturally delighted. After all, it was only the early ’80s, information and logistics were not as developed as later generations. What they brought back couldn’t be bought locally.
Seeing the time was indeed late, Mother He spoke: "It’s getting late. Everyone, let’s wrap it up."
Xinyan and He Jinxuan stood up and returned to their yard next door.
Before they came back, the Big Brother couple helped them clean the house and lit the stove in advance.
Once they entered, Xinyan spoke: "You’re something. As soon as you said those words, your parents’ faces changed immediately. Aren’t you afraid your brothers or nephews will say you’re living off of someone else?"
He Jinxuan hugged her from behind: "People are unpredictable. I just gave them an early warning. If they encounter difficulties in the future, we will certainly help, but they shouldn’t make any crooked plans concerning us."
It’s precisely because he noticed the small gestures of the Second Brother and sister-in-law that he said those words, to prevent the Second Brother and sister-in-law from causing trouble and parents using family ties to exploit him.
Saying that much, he didn’t believe that Second Brother and sister-in-law could shamelessly demand anything excessive.
Xinyan laughed: "Alright, you win."
After tidying up, the two headed out together, in a good mood, towards the hotel booked by Mr. Ye.
And when the second couple returned home, Gao Yumei said with a displeased expression: "What does Third mean, is he afraid we’ll borrow money from him again?"
